Water Leak Repair

If the meter is still turning with every fixture off, shut the main and call, because the damage from a hidden leak is done long before anything shows on a wall.

When this becomes an emergency

What a pro does

Leak work is elimination in a deliberate order. The plumber shuts everything off and watches the meter, or on a well property listens for the pump cycling with no demand, which does the same job. Then he isolates the house supply, the irrigation line, and the hot side against the cold. Narrowing it that way before anybody opens a wall is what keeps the repair small. Location comes next, with a moisture meter, acoustic listening gear or a thermal camera depending on where the line runs. Central Arkansas housing gives him several places to look. Crawl spaces west toward the hills let a leak drip and travel along a joist so it appears far from the break. Slab homes hide the same leak until it reaches a floor covering, and by then it's been running a while. Attic runs in newer construction drop water straight through a ceiling with no warning at all. Once the failure is exposed, the repair matches the material already in service, and this housing stock has copper, galvanized, polybutylene and PEX all still in use. Mixing them takes the right fittings. A pressure test and a second meter check close the job out.

Frequently asked questions

Shut off every fixture, the ice maker and any irrigation, then read the meter and read it again after fifteen minutes. Any movement means water is leaving the system. On a well, listen instead for the pump starting when nothing is running.
Water follows whatever surface it lands on. In a crawl space it runs the length of a joist before dropping, and inside a wall it tracks down a stud to the plate. That's why locating equipment beats opening drywall wherever the stain happens to be.
Not automatically, though it's worth knowing you have it. Plenty of it is still in service, but its fittings and the pipe itself have a history of failing without warning, so a plumber who finds it will usually raise repiping as a conversation rather than an emergency.
They can often confirm unusual usage and may check the meter with you, which is useful for establishing that something is wrong. Pinpointing it is a different job that happens at the property, with isolation and listening equipment.
